Well here it is,finally finished...i've really enjoyed putting this together,mostly from new parts but with some old bits that cleaned up well.The body shell is from TBG which turned out very well,the decals are originals.
Again thanks to Mincemeat for sending me some parts that i had trouble finding.

Looks pukka buddy
Love the look of the falcon, very underrated, if I little fragile. Yours looks as if it has just come from a Beatties store circa 1987
Top work buddy

Excellent example of how a falcon should be restored! Have you thought about lettering the tires? I think that would look spectacular. Excellent work

Nicely done! The TBG looks indistinguishable from the original.

well, i'm going half broke scooping up parts for my falcon. i have a TBG shell coming but i also managed to win the NIB body set. so i think i'll finish the TBG with repro decals and use that for running and the originals for shelf duty. i noticed in your first pics you had nice new tires on the rear. are these vintage, or is there some new stock alternative? having trouble finding rear tires and the R parts.

Hi Beefmuffin,getting your hands on NIB body set was a great piece of luck...let me know how the TBG shell compares to the original.The tires are vintage which i found on ebay and came from Japan,not a bad price either! The tires did take awhile to find but patience will pay off.If I come across any tires/R parts i'll let you know.
